It all starts at the top

Jerry is one of the best owners in all of professional sports. It is a business. He runs it better than most (again all of professional sports).

Some owners view winning on the field. Same are willing to nearly go full retard to do it. Fans prefer those owners.

I am sorry but this is the most outrageous thing I have ever read on these boards. Jerry Richardson is an absolutely awful owner. The panthers could win the next five Super Bowls and I would say they won in spite of him. The fact that he has the nfl shield on the 50 yard line tells you everything you need to know about this clown. All I hear is how he is so respected around the league by other owners. The reason for that is because they are able to focus on their teams while good ole Jerry will do everything that benefits the NFL for them. Remember this is the same guy explaining pie charts to Super Bowl winners drew Brees and Peyton manning. The same guy who teamed up with Jets owner Woody Johnson to keep the ref lockout going. You never want to be teamed up with Woody Johnson in anything. It took real owners like Rooney, Mara, and Kraft to step up and put an end to the ref lockout.

Jerry Richardson pretty much started PSLs which I think should be criminal. I understand many teams do it now but I think they are the worst things to happen to sports. It is funny how all of you who bought PSLs are pretty much responsible for the stadium being built, but this awful owner continues to put the NFL first over you. You guys are responsible for building this stadium but he still had the nerve to threaten the city that the franchise will be moved if they don't fund his stadium. The new Giant stadium used very little city money and the Madison Square Garden renovations were 100 percent paid by owner Dolan. You never heard any of them threatening the city.

It is also embarrassing how he handled the Greg Hardy situation. He was perfectly fine to play week 1 but once he heard the media outrage he faked cried and now Hardy will never play for the panthers again. The product on the field sucks and they deserve what they are getting. The 49ers stood by Ray McDonald and didn't care less about media pressure . They can claim all they want it was ron Riveras decision but we all know it was the big cat. His fake tears make me sick as everyone with a brain could see right through this clown.

What he did to John Fox his last season here was a joke. I hope Fox can win a Super Bowl with denver because he deserves it after our awesome owner sided up with the NFL and gave john fox and embarrassing roster. The strength of our team back in 2003 was our d line. He ran out both Julius peppers and kris jenkins . I understand that he takes care of his players and does awesome stuff for greg Olsen, but shouldn't all billionaire owners do that? The New York Rangers were in the playoffs this past year and one of their star players mother died. He got him a private jet flew him to montreal and had the whole team there that next weekend. That was a great thing he did but there is probably no owner who gets more crap than James Dolan. So why does JR get excused because he is a nice guy?

It really is a shame that no one in the media will ever challenge him. It is a shame that a majority of the fans are fooled by him and will forever give him a pass for bringing a team to the Carolina's. I have news for you, if it wasn't him eventually someone else would have. This thread is completly correct. The issues start at the top. Jerry Richardson always has been and always will be the problem with this team. We will never win anything with such a pathetic excuse of an owner. You guys built this stadium but will always come second to the shield.

Why was this not locked last night as a rant? Wow it's freaking amazing how your in the click and your posts get to stay but if you have never really met Igo your poo gets locked or deleted. Grow up people its a message board. Whats good for the goose should be good for the gander.

First of all, I'm not in any clique. I've never met Zod or anyone else from this board. I haven't even lived in NC, or even been in NC for more than a 30 day period of leave, since long before I joined this board. Second of all, I tried to avoid ranting. There's something to be said for the manner in which you construct your thoughts and words, even if the meaning can be perceived to be the same.

JR might be one of the best businessmen in the league, but he's one of the worst sports team owners. Football is and was a sport before a business. This ain't AT&T or Apple. This is a sport. Success isn't measured by dollars and cents, it's measured by winning.

Yet you have a thread on page 1 already talking about potential draft selections before we've even played our 10th game.

 

That thread sure doesn't look locked either.

To expound on this, the way I look at it is JR is the Michael Bay of sports owners.  They both make a lot of money doing what they do, but is Bay considered a great filmmaker?  One of the best?  I think not.  But his movies make a lot of money.

There literally should be no argument. I'm in shock anyone can think otherwise about how inept of an owner he is.
